Preparation method

1.     We suggest using one of the following pans for this dish: Small Roaster, 24 cm Cocotte, Rectangular cocotte, and even a 28cm Saute pan!

2.     Spread each slice with on one side with butter, then cut into triangles.

3.     Arrange a layer of Brioche, buttered-side up, in the bottom of the pan, then add a layer of sultanas or other fruit if preferred and sprinkle sugar. Repeat the layers of bread, sultanas and sugar, until you have used up all of the brioche. Finish with a layer of Brioche and sprinkle with brown sugar, then set aside. Do not put sultanas on the top layer.

4.     Gently warm the milk and cream in a pan over a low heat to scalding point. Don't let it boil.

5.     Crack the eggs into a bowl, add three quarters of the sugar, Vanilla Essence and lightly whisk until pale.

6.     Add the warm milk and cream mixture and stir well, then strain the custard into a bowl.

7.     Pour the custard over the prepared bread layers and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.

8.     Preheat the oven to 180C/355F/Gas 4.

9.     Place the pan into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard has set and the top is golden-brown.
